Unfortunately, that really only works once your hormones have settled down enough to turn you into an unreasonable wreck for a few days at a time, and even then not very well.

Try to find an outlet for your emotions like writing or drawing or even sport. Also, try to keep in mind that your reactions to things are not always rational, and never be too embarassed to apologise when you've cooled down.

*hugs* I'm sorry I don't have more advice, to be honest I didn't cope with that stage of life too well myself.
